Comedian Roseanne Barr has bid farewell to her longtime Hawaiian refuge — selling her 46-acre Honokaa ranch for $2.6 million, roughly $650,000 above the $1.95 million asking price, The Post has learned.
The deal, which sparked a bidding frenzy, came together in a matter of days, underscoring the robust appetite for distinctive island properties. Robb Report broke news of the deal.
Barr purchased the sprawling macadamia nut farm in 2007 for $1.78 million.
The property later served as the setting for her short-lived reality series “Roseanne’s Nuts” in 2011, which followed her attempt to run the farm alongside her partner Johnny Argent and her son, Jake Pentland.
Though the show lasted only one season, Barr held on to the estate for years, using it as her home and private retreat after the cancellation of her ABC sitcom revival in 2018.
The ranch, perched along the Hamakua Coast, features panoramic ocean views and more than 4,000 macadamia trees surrounding a 2,716-square-foot residence.
The main home includes four bedrooms, a sunlit open-concept living area with double French doors, and a kitchen fitted with wood cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances.
Outside, amenities include a pool and a waterslide, a guesthouse, an art studio, a greenhouse, and a bamboo-enclosed outdoor shower and soaking tub.
Listing agent Paul Stukin of Deep Blue HI said that interest in the property was immediate and global.
“There was interest where buyers flew in from five different states, the neighbor Island and three European countries,” he told The Post.
Barr, 72, has since traded island life for the Texas Hill Country, where she resides with her son and his family.
While Barr said she will always cherish her connection to Hawaii, she acknowledged that maintaining such a vast property has become impractical.
“Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m getting too old to do as much as I used to. The land deserves someone with the spirit and energy to care for it the way it should be,” she previously told Robb Report.
Barr originally envisioned the ranch as a self-sustaining haven and a way to give back to the community she had long admired.
